Housing affordability is a crisis in Canada

[Mathieub]

The solution is a law that prohibit the landlord and other similar to them to rise the price and decide high price for low class lodging.

Exactly. Your death wouldn't be noticed. Nothing you say will change that fact. 🙂

Hey little guy, I noticed you were sending me messages there and after I replied you turned it off so that you couldn't receive messages from me. Gosh I sure hope I didn't hurt your feelings  

So you went back and you deleted all your posts on this thread so that people couldn't see that you lost. Then you attacked me randomly on about 15 different threads around the board in order to show me in your own words that you are the most petty of posters here and that I couldn't take it.

You then said you would go on forever unless you were banned, and here we are 24 hours later and you're giving up.

Careful who you pick a fight with next time kiddo. If you can't handle being wrong then you better make sure you're right before you do pick one.

I would imagine that giving your history so far your emotional damage will lead you to block  me next. You're  not the first of your kind i've run into the ground and buried. Just wanted to send you on your way

Then nobody buys homes to rent.  And then developers build less homes. 

Which is precisely what's happening now. 

If you had a million dollars kicking around would YOU invest it where the gov't will force you to lose money and force you to be responsible for other people? Of course not.  So nobody does it and rents shoot through the roof or are just not there at all. Welcome to Canada in 2024.

The correct answer is incentivize  building more homes and protecting landlords so that its worth taking the risk.  Landlords have no rights.

I would say that new housing receive financing of the state. I was talking about low class lodging.

but since the state is printing money to fund itself

any such expenditure is inflationary therein

driving the prices of things up, not down

I"m a firm believer in low cost housing where your rent is indexed to your income.  I've seen it work and it does good things.  BUT -  it exists with the premise that one day those people (or most of them) will build themselves up to earn enough to move out and on to something else.  Otherwise there's no room for the next person who's struggling. 

And right now that cant' happen. Rents are so high that they can never earn enough to move out.  Which is what many young people also face. 

The gov't cannot build enough 'low cost housing' to fix that. We are currently short over a million homes in canada and that's going up like a rocket every year, not down. 

it's not that your idea has zero merit but it's like trying to fix an amputation with a band aid.  THe patient isn't going to live very long if that's all we do.

That is also true.

Canada's national government debt reached 1.5 trillion USD in March 2024.

National household debt is 2181.5 billion dollars.

The federal government deficit is expected to be 38.4 billion dollars in the 2024/25 fiscal year.

The government does not have the money to finance anything.  Increasing the deficit and the debt will have serious consequences.

Absolutely heartbroken to watch this.

Look what this government has done to citizens by bringing millions into this country since 2015 and hence creating such a (housing) crisis that many millions are suffering including most of new comers.
